Framing Square

By , About.com Guide

Definition:
A Framing Square is a flat, "L" shaped tool made of metal that creates an accurate 90 degree right angle. It usually has engraved or stamped increments of measurement on its face. It gets its name because carpenters use this tool so much to lay out framing and make sure it is "square" or constructed with 90 degree angles.
